This day keeps going after lunch. You'll ride from Diabat to Sidi Kaouki, eat in the village, then continue south to the falls at Sidi M'Barek, where the dunes sit above a quieter stretch of coast. Your own guide stays with you from the yard to the falls and back.
Helmets go on in the yard, with a short practice before you leave through the forest toward Cap Sim. The morning is beaches, dunes and cliff tracks along the Atlantic, long enough to settle into the sand before you reach the village.
Lunch in Sidi Kaouki comes with meals and drinks at a small restaurant. After that you get back on the quad and continue south. The falls at Sidi M'Barek sit on a quieter piece of coast, with a high dune and a view you only reach on this extra stretch.
Your guide stays with your party only, so you can spend a decent amount of time at the falls before you turn back. How close you get to the shore depends on the tide. You return by the same mix of beach and forest once you have had time there.
Sidi M'Barek lies south of Sidi Kaouki, past the fishing village, on a stretch of Atlantic coast that still feels empty compared with Essaouira. The falls and the dune sit in that landscape. You do not start there; you ride to them after lunch.
Diabat remains the morning base, 3 km from Essaouira, with hotel collection in town. The day links those three points: the yard, the village restaurant, and the falls. Pickup covers Essaouira and the city centre only.
You do not need previous riding time, though you should be ready for a long day on the machine, including a stretch after lunch. Children from 5 to 11 share a double with an adult. From 12 they may drive alone. Under 18s carry no passenger. A driver with a passenger must be at least 18.
Skip this day in pregnancy or if you have a back problem. The usual upper age is 75. Wear closed shoes and long trousers. Tell the yard if someone is new, so the guide can keep them close on the morning stretch.
The same person who briefed you in Diabat is still with you at the falls. One party, one guide, kit from the yard, and lunch already arranged in the village so you are not hunting for a table in the heat.
Hotel collection in Essaouira keeps the morning simple. French, English and Arabic are spoken at the base, which helps when you are confirming ages and who will drive before a long day out.
Helmets and a short practice in the yard come first. The guide explains that the day goes beyond Sidi Kaouki, so everyone knows there is a second stretch after lunch. Controls, spacing and the morning route are covered before you leave the yard.
Forest, Cap Sim, beaches and cliffs fill the morning, with stops for photos along the way. You ride as your own group, not as part of a mixed convoy, so the pace can stay with the least experienced rider.
A sit-down meal in a small Sidi Kaouki restaurant breaks the day. Meals and drinks here are included. This is also the rest before you get back on the machines and continue south toward the falls.
Beyond the village the track continues to Sidi M'Barek, where a waterfall and a high dune sit on a quieter piece of coast. You stop for the view, then turn for the forest and the yard.
After lunch in Sidi Kaouki you continue further south to the falls at Sidi M'Barek, where the dunes sit above a quieter stretch of coast. That extra section is why you stay on the machines into the afternoon.
The stop at the falls is for the view and a rest, then you turn back. Tide and weather still decide how close you ride to the shore.
Lunch is in Sidi Kaouki, in a small local restaurant, with meals and drinks at that stop included. You eat before the extra stretch south, so you are not riding to the falls on an empty stomach.
Bring any snacks you want for the later hours on the sand. Say if someone needs a simple plate. The restaurant meal is part of the day, not something you sort on arrival.
Sidi M'Barek sits beyond Sidi Kaouki, on a quieter piece of Atlantic coast with a high dune and a waterfall in the landscape. The place is still quiet compared with the Essaouira strip, and the stop is for the view rather than a long hike.
You reach it on the same style of beach, dune and cliff tracks used earlier in the day. Exact access changes with weather. The guide decides how far onto the sand you go once you are there.
Children from 5 ride behind an adult on a double. From 12 they may drive alone if they reach the controls. Under 18s carry no passenger. A driver with a passenger must be 18 or over.
This is a long day on sand, so think carefully before bringing a very young passenger. Mention ages when you get in touch. Pregnancy and back problems are reasons to skip this outing, and the usual upper age is 75.
Beginners can still join, because the briefing and a dedicated guide are part of the day. You should be ready for more hours on the machine, including the extra stretch after lunch.
Tell the yard if you have never ridden. The first forest section can stay slower. Closed shoes and long trousers are not optional on a day that reaches the falls, because you are on sand and scrub for most of the day.
Closed shoes, long trousers, sun protection, and a buff if you want one. Helmets and windbreakers come from the yard. A spare layer helps after lunch if the wind is up on the cliffs.
Pack a small dry bag for phones and any medicine you need. You will get dusty before and after the restaurant. Do not rely on shops between Sidi Kaouki and the falls.
Your party still leaves with its own guide. Nobody is added to your group from another party. That matters on a longer day, because you can stop for lunch and at the falls when you get there, rather than waiting for another group.
Tell us every rider. If one person wants to stay in Essaouira, they do not need a machine. Confirm simple and double counts so the yard can set the group before pickup.
Wind and haze are common and usually fine. A storm or a very high tide can block the beach line south of Sidi Kaouki, which is the section this day needs. We'll get in touch if the falls cannot be reached safely.
We may shorten the afternoon if that extra stretch is closed. Keep the rest of your plans loose. There is no second restaurant at the falls, so lunch still happens in Sidi Kaouki when the day runs as planned.
Hotel collection in Essaouira or near the city centre is included, then drop-off after you return to Diabat. Give the hotel name when you get in touch. The yard is still the place you brief and collect kit.
Staying outside town means you make your own way to Diabat. A late pickup leaves you less time on the sand, because the falls come after lunch. Be ready in the window you are given.
Send hotel name, ages, and who will drive a simple quad versus who needs a double. Wear closed shoes and long trousers. Keep the morning free so pickup is not rushed.
If you have to change the date, let us know as soon as you can. The guide, the machines and the restaurant table are already set for this longer day. Water and any medicines belong in a bag that can take dust.
